This week’s pen review is a basic, workhorse type pen with some fun little details. It’s the Zebra Sarasa Clip – in a 0.5mm point and red/black gel ink – because they’re good like that. I picked this one up on a JetPens. The Sarasa Clip has a rich red/black gel ink. This one comes […]

I try to give equal time to pens. This is another Pilot Precise V5 RT (retractable) This is the Deco Collection in assorted colors . I don’t remember spending a whole lot for them, so don’t judge the MSRP too harshly. This pen has a solid feeling point for the heavy-handed writers. This is a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Shachihata Artline BLOX Mechanical Pencil – 0.5mm
This week’s pen is the other of the Christmas pens from JetPens. It’s the Shachihata Artline BLOX line. This is, I guess, technically (from the name) a pen more designed for artists, but this particular line is geared to those who love LEGOs or MegaBlocks (which means Kids of All Ages). I bought these are […]

This is one of the last finds on the last Office Depot run. These are the BIC Intensity permanent pens – fiber tipped in a 0.5mm fine point. These came in a five-pen multi-pack – two black, blue, green, and red. The BIC Intensity permanent pens are kind of cool. They’re long – 5.5″ capped […]
Shachihata Artline Ergoline 0.5mm Rollerball – Green Ink
This week’s pen is also from JetPens. It’s the Shachihata Artline EgoLine 0.5mm rollerball pen in green ink.

This pen is basic black (so it goes with just about everything). It’s 5.25″ […]

[Pen/Pencil Review] Pentel’s e-Sharp 0.5mm Sky Blue Mechanical Pencil
Here’s one of the many Pentel reviews coming up over time from the last batch of stuff they sent me – because Pentel is awesome like that. This is the e-Sharp 0.5mm mechanical pencil. There won’t be a writing sample because it’s Pentel’s HB lead – so it’s standard #2 pencil lead, and when it […]
